If you look at the symbol it is made with three curves, a semi-circle and a small dot. The bottom curve is said to represent the waking state. This can also relate to our material world. The upper curve represents deep sleep and the right curve represents dream. The dot is said to symbolize the absolute and illuminates the other states.

OM can be thought of as universal music. Many people refer to it as the symbol of the absolute. OM represents what is spiritual. Since God, and spiritualism of any sort can not be described in words it can be described in the symbol OM. The OM can represent the Infinite and very essence of the Universe itself. For those who practice Hinduism and Buddhism it is a very important symbol. Many other religious practices use it as well. In our modern culture it has become important to many. In the Western culture it often means to some Peace.

OM is often a symbol that is used in guiding meditations connecting, man, God and the universe. While we meditate if we chant OM it can create a vibration that will help us to quiet our mind and connect with the universe. It is difficult to think while you chant OM. If you do start having thoughts the sound will stop. The sound is divine as it comes from within ourselves.

I have been lucky enough to be working with a new Yoga studio in town. Grace Yoga opened in August and is now carrying my line of jewelry. To celebrate we are going to be having a trunk show this Friday September 5th. It will run from 6 to 9 and there will be goodies to eat as well as my full line of jewelry to look at in a very relaxed setting. There will also be my two favorite yoga teacher there Iffett and Arlene. They would be glad to show you the studio and answer any yoga related questions that you might have.

About Me

I have always had a passion for jewelry, it was there as I grew up. I studied design at the Art Institute but found upon graduation that I was drawn to a career in Jewelry. When I shop I always stop to look at the gemstones and see how things are made and enjoy another artist’s take on making jewelry. I find that gemstones just call my name and on a day when I need to feel better I can work with my gemstones and find that I have forgotten what it is that was bothering me. Come and hang out with me as I work towards my graduate gemologist certification. I welcome conversation on your feelings about the stones as well as the market in general. I enjoy conversations on both the metaphysical side as well as the pure gemological side.
Namaste
Linda
